I didn't need to see Joohnny Depp in PotC, either. The animatronic is very well done, but I still think the ride would be better off without him.I certainly understand why some would think Tomorrowland Speedway and Jungle Cruise are a waste of space, old, outdated, etc.
But, what about nostalgia? I probably haven't ridden either since I was 6-8 years old...but, I just like knowing they are there! And younger kids still like them!
I understand that things change, but having a few things stay the same isn't bad! I didn't like hearing that they "updated" POTC to fit the movie, but I certainly understood why they did it. But, I still wish they would have left the classic ride alone...
I'm all for adding to WDW, but I don't think we need to take away or update everything out of date.
It isn't as bad as it could have been, though! It kinda blends and isn't too hard to ignore, except at the end.
